In relation to the Ministerial Office; 1) No. 2) N/A. In relation to Departments or Agencies under the Minister's Control; (1-2) This information is not readily available. Provision of this information would require considerable research, which would divert staff attention away from their normal duties and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. If the Member has a specific inquiry I will endeavour to provide a reply.
